A Little Away

A very fast two week gap in posts has occurred- business and pleasure conspired to keep me from my post.  Nice to reintroduce the latter to my life.

Last weekend, Dave and I managed a miniature escape with my parents aboard Dad's great project, the Beatrice Helen.

For brevity, I will rely on the photos to recount the excursion.

Embarking with the last minute details...

Motoring out of Flander's Bay, towing the Luna Sea- just in case

Off of Schoodic Point.  Still.  No. Wind.  F/V Barbara Jean off the Starboard. 


Hooking up with Slugger (Captain) & Bio-Dad (sternman)
Kitchen comedy: turns out the pots were too small for the contents: so we returned the lobsters.  

Shore excursion to Schoodic Island
Home to mink.  (Scat identification is one of Dave's many fine qualities) 

Driftwood & Detritus

Resting place.
Bleaching.

The Beatrice Helen abides.
Rugosa hole.

Hips & buoy

Three on the strand.

Cormorants: Chaos in migration.

Heft.

Salt.
Plunder.


Competitive walking stick collecting.

Pushing off the seawall.

Supper time.  Schoodic salt in the blue bowl on the table.

Mid-morning on Sunday- Dave, a Pile of Sleep in the Aft Cabin.

Sights & Seers.

Table-top.

Back on the mooring.


Proof I was there too!:
